Pros

Amazon Web Services has been nothing short of amazing, from their coordinated training plans, access to job growth, etc. Autonomy in my job, great salary/benefits, teammates, and work/life balance make AWS within Amazon a great place to work.

Cons

Your job satisfaction and work/life balance WILL depend on what team you are looking to get into at Amazon. If you choose to go the retail/Alexa routes, beware that the work/life balance (and pay) will not be as good. As far as cons within AWS, I haven't hit any yet.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
